my guess is that it's the "most expensive" because you register, you pay, and then it gets seized and resold without your knowledge and without a way to appeal it. The author said games.ng got sold for 10,000USD/year (which WOULD make it the most expensive). I think the seizure adds to the price. Imagine ycombinator.com or even reddit.com sold to the highest bidder? Millions in damages.

  How stupid would you have to be, to pay $10,000 for a domain stolen from the rightful owner, when they could just turn around and steal it back from you?

    *Assuming you knew it was stolen.

.na Costs even more @ $ 5000.00+ per year (ref : http://www.101domain.com/na.htm http://www.101domain.com/na.htm)

  Why would anyone pay that much for a domain? Are there any notable sites using it?
